Haha if you teach me to do this ^_^ then I maybe just maybe give link.

Truth is that I am not sure how one does it and I have searched and searched too and even started threads and asked and asked.

But some has told me but to find these threads and posts. Hm takes much effort.

Anyway here is what you can test to do.

1. First things first. Kernel has to be same on Firefox pet and the puppy linux os you install it on.

2. Suppose you make a frugal install of lupu-528 and you go to quickpet or what the name is. There you chose FF 4 or 5 or what is there now.

You install it and let it get flash and then reboot?

3. Then you boot and use Rox and open up two Rox windows
and one is the root with all showing so you can see the .mozilla
that the install created.

4. Now you move that one from root to /mnt/home/ so it is there
instead of in the root and that move it out of pupsave.

oops forgot to tell you the most important part.
One makes an absolute symlink back to root from /mnt/home/
How does one do such? Not sure. One click and hold the click down and
drag and drop as absolute symlink. One have to test until one get it.

Then you learn what works and not work having it that way. You have to search and ask and test and be your own expert on when it works well and when not.

Another way to keep the pupsave lean is to use .sfs and sfs-load on fly or similar.

I use seaside's SFS-exec instead. That allow me to have Opera and Chromium and Iron and different FF and such on instant access as sfs files outside of pupsave.

one can also have LMMS and other big files that way._________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

zaivala MacPup most likely use E17 so that needs someone that use it to know
Runt who is a Dev of MacPup he would know so try to find the MacPup thread._________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

528 loads perfect, able to do downloads OK, program works great, etc., the problem is at shutdown.

Everything in shutdown is normal right up to and including 'Creatin Disk Space' on the savefile I have named... but... It never asks for the next option to include files from the CD to HDD for faster loading next time, the computer then just shuts down.

On reboot (or startup) it asks for the savefile I want to load (have several on HDD). I select the savefile I want, it starts loading then I get the 'KERNEL PANIC' and computer STOPS!

how do I install a program so that the bulk of files are stored outside the savefile, and only the settings are kept into it?

I think you have to do this manually, almost no install procedure that I've used offered me a choice of where I wanted a program installed. I think you'll have to click on the .pet package, wait till it's finished installing the new application, the you'll have to search the file system for that directory and move it and its contents to a directory you create under, e.g., /mnt/home
and finally create a symlink back to where it had been installed so that puppy can find its new hiding place.
